Digital asset funds saw $3.17 billion in inflows last week, defying market turmoil triggered by renewed tariff tensions between the United States and China.
Key points to remember:
- Digital asset funds saw $3.17 billion in weekly inflows, bringing the 2025 total to a record $48.7 billion despite tariff tensions between the United States and China.
- Bitcoin dominated trading, with inflows of $2.67 billion and record ETP volumes reaching $53 billion.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added $2.71 billion amid strong institutional demand.
The rally in investment products occurred even as major cryptocurrencies saw sharp corrections, with just $159 million in outflows on Friday, signaling limited investor panic.
Year-to-date inflows have now reached a record high of $48.7 billion, surpassing the 2024 total, according to a report released Monday by CoinShares.
Bitcoin Leads Record Weekly ETP Volume of $53 Billion Despite 7% Price Drop
Trading activity increased as digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw record weekly volumes of $53 billion, more than double the 2025 average.
Friday was the busiest trading day ever, with daily turnover of $15.3 billion.
Bitcoin remained the main draw, attracting $2.67 billion in inflows, bringing its total for 2025 to $30.2 billion. However, this amount remains below last year’s record $41.7 billion.
Despite a 7% price drop following the tariff announcement, Bitcoin volumes reached a new daily high of $10.4 billion.
Ethereum also saw strong participation, with $338 million in inflows during the week, although investors withdrew $172 million on Friday, the largest one-day outflow among the major assets.
Analysts suggest that traders viewed ETH as more vulnerable during the correction.
Meanwhile, expectations for the upcoming Solana (SOL) and XRP exchange-traded fund launches have cooled, with inflows declining to $93.3 million and $61.6 million, respectively.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their strong “Uptober” momentum with $2.71 billion in weekly inflows, highlighting sustained institutional demand.
According to SoSoValue, total assets under management climbed to $158.96 billion, representing almost 7% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
The highlight session of the week came on Monday, when the funds recorded $1.21 billion in inflows, the second-largest daily inflow since the launch of spot ETFs, followed by another $875.6 million on Tuesday.
However, sentiment cooled on Friday, when Bitcoin ETFs saw a small outflow of $4.5 million following President Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports.
Analyst warns Bitcoin faces decisive 100-day window
Bitcoin could be near a critical turning point, according to trader Tony “The Bull” Severino, who believes the next 100 days could determine whether the cryptocurrency enters a parabolic rally or ends its current bull cycle.
Severino pointed to the Bollinger Bands indicator on Bitcoin’s weekly chart, which has tightened to levels never seen before, often a precursor to sharp price movements in either direction.
Severino warned that “fake heads” or false rashes are common during such setups. He noted that Bitcoin recently failed to break above the upper band strongly after briefly touching $126,000, suggesting a potential decline ahead of any sustained rally.
Currently, BTC is trading around $122,700, sitting below its all-time highs as volatility compresses further.
While some analysts fear an imminent breakup, others say Bitcoin cycles are lengthening, suggesting more room for growth.
